I've secretly wanted to be a professional violinist since I was about 7 or 8 years old. Considering I didn't start lessons until I was 24, I think I'm going to have to be an English professor instead:)

Pro cheerleaders are paid dimes. They don't do it as a full-time job so the good news is that you can be a pro shopper and cheer coach and cheer on the side!

-Rudey

I'd love to be a national columnist.

Like Carrie Bradshaw? ;)

Something like that!

I want to write novels and short stories. Or be an opera singer.

Governor of OH or a Senator (I would say president but I decided long ago any job where people would be trying to kill me on a daily basis would thrown out the window)

But of Part of me thinks being a literary agent be cool-- reading and trying to discover the next NY Bestseller


And the little girl in me is screaming--ACTRESS

be a world renown saxophonist/saxophone teacher. Not Kenny G (please no one even mention him, he just plays elevator music). I want to be one of "the" names in saxophone, like Eugene Rousseau, or Ken Fischer (names only wind players know, so don't worry that you don't recognize them :p )

I hate to be all nerdy. But that really IS what my dream job would be. I'm slowly working on the sax professor thing. Being world renown? We'll see. :cool:

Work as a film musicologist/music archivist
Teach ethnomusicology and popular music studies at the univ. level
Write books
Join the Peace Corps for a couple years
Start a band
Teach piano lessons


At this rate I'll need to live awhile. Not that I mind.

I just want to get paid to look good. Thats it.



;) :D :cool: :) :D

Efficiency Consultant

Currently a graphic designer...

However, I don't think it's what I want to do. I get a lot of compliments on my writing and my wit so I thought about copywriting for major magazines. Maybe just a freelance or something. Do design on the side.

However if I had to start over completely I have a few options:

A CSI (yes like the TV show...)
A broadway lead
A trance dj (that is CLEAN for once, what a concept...)
Tinkerbell at Disneyland
A graphic designer for a major record label... basically designing tour materials, CD covers, etc. (Right now I have the title of production artist...)
Anything with a lot of perks: like free gym memberships if you work for 24hourFitness, concert tix if you work for Clear Channel, free clothes if you are a fashion designer, a movie star, who just gets free stuff in general...

I decided today that what I'd really like to do for a living is....

RETIRE!

Dee

*be a choreographer for Disney on Ice

*a buyer for Torrid

*an Interior Designer

*something with history digging schtuff up! :) :D

teach creative writing at a college like yale, princeton or harvard...

i'd have my students over for dinner and we would talk incessantly about films and books - we would gossip about the school's administration and plan demonstrations that were never to take place

*BUMP* Time to bring this thread back for new people

And people who missed it the first time around
<~~Me


I would seriously, no joking love to be an Opera Singer...or on Broadway...or hey, maybe both...

I'd be a lawyer practicing in family law -- should start "officially" working towards that sometime in August (assuming the LSAT goes as I expect it to).

Or maybe a fiddle playing rock star. It could happen.

I really have no idea what I want to do as a Career. It really sucks.

Really all I want is to work at a job that is entertaining, with people I like, that pays me what I deserve.



Is that so much to ask?

The perfect job for me (nerd alert) would be owning my own scrapbook store, in Annapolis, and have it be really successful.

Is corporate wifey still considered a Career?

quiting jobs LIKE its my job ....

but without the downfall of quitting jobs... like i could just do it as i pleased and noone got mad or didnt hire me .. HAHAHA

President of a University

or....


VP of Student Affairs.

*a professional chocolate taster:D
*do something like Samantha Brown on the travel channel--all she does is stay in "Great Hotels"
*be an interior designer

Not in any order of importance

FBI or DEA
Foreign Service Agent

National Prez of APO... I can dream right???

What i want to do?

Be one of the people who's job is to go to all the fabulous parties everywhere in the music industry and give a report about it and take pictures. Is there such a job?

Work with the peace corp

get paid to travel, or be a camera op for travel television, or the person to stay in new hotels to tell everyone how Fabulous they are

Possibly pursue a career in politics or a certain government agency afterwards.

I want to be an astronaut. :o

I think I'm a 5-year old stuck in a 22-year old's body.

This is a really trick Question...
 

What you thought you wanted to do at some point may have changed. Now the idea is to re-evaluate your skills and look at the direction that your life is going and ask yourself is this where I want to 1. be, 2. go, 3. expand ?

So often as a recruiter I see changes in careers when a person is actually least expected due to his or her lifestyle and or lack of work skills or even a layoff. Let me know if you have any questions.

:cool:

ShaedyKD, I agree. I like your thinking.

1.) I would LOVE to be a comedian for MadTv or Saturday Night Live. How fun would that be?

2.) A music video director. I don't want to direct movies or shows, just music videos. I know, its a bit weird-but I actually started out at Penn State as a communications major to fulfill that dream. Then I changed my major.

3.) A CIA or FBI Agent. I later changed my major from communications (film) to Russian Translation with a minor in German, after returning from Iraq. After a semester or so, I thought-this sucks and I will be here FOREVER. That dream got thrown out the window.

4.) Anything with Phi Mu (nationally)

5.) A Greek Life Advisor/ Academic Advisor

6.) Eventually-I'd love to be a Professor

Now-I'm not 100% sure what I would find super fulfilling. Hopefully my current plan to be something great will work out.

If I could just learn and practice foreign languages all day, I'd do that! I don't think that's a real job, unfortunately. I'd like to work at a high school career center as a college admissions counselor. I'm working on that...slowly...

I'd love to be a professional snarkster/devil's advocate consultant. I love the idea of being paid to tell people that they're wrong.

I really want to be an army nurse. I've thought about this for a long time and considered all positives and negatives (believe me), and that's what I really want to do. :)

I should be finishing up my nursing prerequisites in the coming spring semeste (provided I can get into the classes I need), and ideally I'd like to transfer into the upper-division portion of a BSN program out of state next fall. And I'll enroll in army rotc if my master plan works out.

I'll let you guys know how that goes!

1. Licensed Professional Counselor, specializing in Adolescent and Addiction treatment.

2. a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader *i'm waaay too short*

3. Professional house sitter

4. Social media expert: sit on FB all day and peruse the pages

5. Work with special education policy, specifically IDEA part C.

OOooh, I want that job, too. If not that, I'd love to have my own television show.

Secret shopper. That'd be awesome. I'm all about customer service.

In lieu of that, what I actually do & enjoy is usability, focusing on how the user interacts with a product. I'd love to do more.

Now, if I can find that in a job for like 30-35 hours a week instead of 50...

ETA- for those that want to be efficiency consultants or get paid to tell people what they're doing wrong: Six Sigma. Lots of fun.
